Chiang Mai (Mizzima) - Detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday received medical care for a muscle cramp and is still under examination, a party official announced on Tuesday.

“So far the cause of the muscle cramp that she is suffering from is still unknown. But her doctor said her health is improving,” Nyan Win, NLD spokesperson, told Mizzima.

Following the arrest and detention of her primary physician, Dr. Tin Myo Win, on Thursday, medical assistant Dr. Pyone Mo Ei was allowed on Monday to visit Aung San Suu Kyi and administer medical treatment to her for about four hours, Nyan Win commented.

“The visit was not a regular visit; her doctor was allowed in on an emergency case. Authorities allowed the visit by the doctor after she said she needed medical attention,” Nyan Win explained.
